Who, in their right mind,

[Control-Z]

would believe for even a moment that the gulf oil spill geyser would end up only on the ocean's surface? Even the least (informed) of us have some knowledge of deep ocean currents.

Did the pros really just figure out there might be oil caught up in these deeper currents?

Seriously?

1. They were keeping their fingers crossed that no one else would realize it.

5. It takes a special kind of

arrogance to believe they are so far above us all. That we wouldn't have the intelligence to even wonder.

Fuck them.

8. Beyond arrogance...crossing into the realm of hubris.

2. Fox News of course! If you want stupid, watch Fox.

3. No, its called damage control, remember the air quality

at the World Trade Towers on the days following 9/11? Acceptable as stated by EPA and assorted govt talking heads. Anyone with a partially functioning brain knew better. Its controlling the dialog, the public perception is all that matters.

You are being controled manipulated we all are, isnt it fun?

4. Actually I have thoughts on that, the concept of being manipulated.

A good example is hinted posts. There are times when a post is an obvious next post.

So a person could post one thing knowing the reply, like a softball question from a journalist.

However the ideas in a show or episode does not change, and is still able to be posted for that part of the value of the episode. In other words, to think it must have a value based on your view point takes away other values in a concept. So things with value can be posted, and not worring about secondary interpretations and that posting takes away tool aspects. Since being a tool would not be not posting something that is not part of a sequence, hence showing toolness from a obvious reply, also shows lack of toolness from the idea of not being part of a sequence of replies. Hence it is not playing the game.

To not post something that has value for fear of being played, would be playing the game.

6. They knew

Just like this administration knew how bad this was three weeks before the mainstream media was allowed to see the video of the gusher.

Nope, they are just playing stupid and hoping we won't notice.
